I swap off Justin Holl. He's the reason why we lost game 5
Holl for Lilligren…. its so obvious, but Keefe loves Holl way too much
why is Erik Gustafsson still out? The Leafs need to dump Keefe, he is so out coached
It’s time for Leafs to lose GM7 in OT
Not gonna help, 0-11 in series winning games, 2 decades since a round win, several decades since a cup, it is not just a couple players, it is the whole joke of a franchise, are you guys gonna wait till the century mark before finally realizing you suck? 😂😂
Lightning fan here, no clue how Holl is still in the starting lineup for the leafs. Dude has been at fault for 40% of our goals the last 2 playoff series.
Not Gio, but absolutely Holl. Worst player since Gardiner.
Are you guys trying to say the Leafs wildly overspent both human and financial resources on their forwards while totally ignoring defense for decades? Revelation!!!
Maybe Holl out…but not Gio.
Coach and Holl are an item.
I just can't see them swapping Gio…but for some reason, I feel that they would do it over swapping Holl
Why are we talking about defence again year after, good bye GM
Holl costs Leafs the game almost everytime he plays. 3 goals against last night. Wtf Keefe?
Bio stays for sure you have to know how to use him , good bye coach
The Leafs 3rd and 4th lines can't match Tampa's 3rd and 4th line, that's it! Tampa has won series and Stanley cups with their backend and will win this series unless we get a "miracle on ice".
Holl is trash. He should have been gone long time ago
This has been a fascinating Series. Lightning fans feel Tampa has outplayed Toronto 4 out of the 5 games but trail 3 games to 2. Toronto has a more talented team than Tampa. But Lightning fans have rode Andrei Vasy very hard for blowing leads. Vasy gets better as the Series goes along. The Lightning have to win Game 6. But some would say Toronto NEEDS Game 6 too. Game 7 may be too much for Toronto to handle.
Resign Holl to the same deal as Reilly!!!
I would rather play 5 D and let Holl sit, good Lord he's awful
1 Holl is just so awful.
brody has to stop being a wimp and shoot the puck. 3 times last game wide open shot and makes a terrible terrible pass.
Hockey's such a psychological game, the leafs need to go out there and hit, push their will, play the style that makes them a great team, don't play afraid to make mistakes, I think their at their best when their up tempo, playing with the joy of the game.
how about its time they start playing like a team and step up. stop making excuses
Justin holl is an echl player and keefe is treating hime like an all star playerl lol
Kipper and Bourne are quick to blame. Every time they lose a series they need a scapegoat. Leafs have a good chance of pulling it off if all this damn negativity does not prevail. Yes we can attitude is paramount.
What did Your Losing Toronto Management tell You to Say. Make Sure You don't Blame Them , Like Rick Bonus in Winnipeg.
Try talking about the Other Players that Can't Play Their Positions and Why They Can't.
Try Explaining Why the Trapezoids are on the Ice, and Why Your Team Couldn't Cover the Corner so the Goalie didn't Beat the Player to the Puck.
…Knies and Bunting on the same line…?
Why is this even a question….the guy is absolutely brutal every single night
Why take Gio out? Dudes the most vet guy on the leafs, and yeah he’s going to have a sh!t plus minus he’s paired with Holl, it’s obvious, take out Holl I haven’t seen Gustafson once, lead the entire defencemen in points, leafs could really use that offence, but I’m willing to bet they’re going to leave Holl in for the rest of the series and that’s their mistake, if they had just taken Holl out fkkn several games ago, they would have a much better structured team just by removing 1 player, doesn’t make sense, also leave Gio alone he cant help his D-man pairings😂😂😂 Gio is my pick for top 4 dman on the team along w McCabe, Reilly and Brodie, they have so much depth and they aren’t using it at all, a fkn waste of space they are why tf did they go and get these people that they aren’t even going to use, fk it’s fkkn frustrating being a leafs fan, excited for their final game 7 blowout again, it’s not the Toronto Maple Leafs if they don’t blow it in the first round
Nick nurse: fred is my son
Keefe: holl is my son
💯💯💯💯
💩⚰️🪦💯💯💯😂😂😂
Holl yes, Gio no.
Holl came up through the system, and he has been better than Dermott. He is not a hitter, unfortunately the playoffs demand that of everybody. He should stick to the game he knows, The lightning will take a hit for a goal, and the line is so blurry about the right time/timing. If Holl doesn't have to hit, he's fine.
Gio is playing WORSE because he's paired with Holl and second-guessing everything happening on the ice.
Funny thing but wasn't the Giordano / Liljgrenn pairing extremely good last season and this one at time's as well
Holl 100% needa to go, gio maybe not so much
I can't believe this series is still going. Tampa is a Mash unit, everyone is hurt. Leafs are 100% healthy.
Timmins? Liljegren? as options?
There is not a worse fan base of sports then the leafs fans. I'm looking in from the outside. You fans are the worst fans I have ever seen and heard. It has given me a reason to route against a team in the playoffs. The worst!
Love Giordano’s compete but I’ve never liked his foot speed. As for Holl, I’ve never liked his defensive positioning or physical game. Too soft for his size and too slow.
Keefe's loyalty to Holl will be his undoing in Toronto
He seems like a witness
holl got to sit keefe take holl out of your
Leaf d have no confidence except for Riley
Hall belongs in the ECHL but even there he’s get railed
Leave Gio. He wouldnt be in this convo if he weren't paired with Holl to begin with. Age and skating aside, he's done well aside Lilligren or anyone else he gets paired with for that matter. For the positive things Holl brings to the pk his 5 v 5 is far outweighing in negetive light. Off Holl
Holl is not playoff tough. Hes not even preseason tough. Send him to Gary roberts
